GENERAL POWER PACKAGE
PREPARATION
Step 1
Lubricate the throttle and shift linkages and cables with multi-pur-
pose grease.
Step 2
MasterCraft recommends that batteries be removed from the boat
for winter storage. Batteries should be fully charged before being
stored in a cool, dry location, protected from the elements and fully
recharged before being reinstalled in the boat. Never store batteries
close to heat, spark or flame-producing devices.
Step 3
Leave the engine box cover propped open about two inches (2”) to
ventilate the engine compartment.
the vent is unsealed prior to the boat being placed back into
service! Failure to do so will result in issues in trying to fill the gas
tank in future fill-ups.
It is desirable to keep the fuel’s temperature below 80 F. (26 C.) The
gumming will increase as temperatures increase.
Note that fuel stabilizers work ONLY in fresh gasoline. Stabilizers
will not cure oxygenated gasoline. Adding a stabilizer when the
boat is being prepared for outings after storage will NOT clean the
gumming that has occurred or remove water from the fuel tank or
otherwise eliminate any problems that have occurred due to failure
to properly prepare the fueling system for storage.
Engine manufacturers suggest using Federal or State of California
reformulated gasoline whenever possible as it stores as well or
better than conventional gasoline.
Even quality gasoline that has been properly prepared for storage
should never be stored for a period to exceed one (1) year.
Fuel systems on all boats MUST be properly prepared for storage
periods exceeding two (2) weeks, as outlined in this Owner’s
Manual. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
